A woman recreating a Fifty Shades of Grey scene by binding her hands and neck in her car was ‘rescued’ by police in the Canaries who thought she had been kidnapped.
A shocked tourist said the woman was found inside a car at a popular beach with her hands tied to the steering wheel and packing tape around her neck.
But when officers arrived on the scene, they found it was a false alarm and that the highly embarrassed woman was only trying to recreate a sexy scene from the erotic blockbuster ‘Fifty Shades of Grey.’
She confessed a fantasy game had ‘got out of hand’ and she nearly strangled herself in the process.
The woman herself called for help because she feared she was going to choke to death. It is understood she had been there for two hours.
The unusual rescue happened in the north of Tenerife in the car-park of the beach of Las Teresitas in the island’s capital of Santa Cruz.
Police received a call to go the beach as a woman was in difficulty inside a Citroën 3 car.
She was found in the driver’s seat, wearing ordinary clothing but with her wrists shackled to the steering wheel with plastic ties.
Both hands were bruised and inflamed. In addition, she had packing tape around her neck, so tight that she could not speak and had serious breathing problems.
The woman told the police: ‘I was trying to recreate a scene of Fifty Shades of Grey but it got out of hand, I do not have a partner and I am alone.’
Officers had to use a knife to cut the restraints so she could breath properly and then requested an ambulance to take her to hospital.
The woman said she has panicked when she couldn’t breath.
A camper on the beach said he had heard the sound of a car horn and had seen the woman banging her head against it to raise the alarm.
Doctors at a hospital in Santa Cruz said she needed treatment for ‘the improper use of the bridles’.
